	Plot dump - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Plot dump, infodump, or exposition is a term used by the movie and television industries to describe a plot device by which critical elements of the plot, often involving the back-story, are not depicted directly but are instead elaborated in dialogue by one of the characters or by a narrator.
		Plot dumps are especially common in sit-coms in the introduction of non-recurring characters which drive the comedic plot of a particular episode.
		In this case, plot dump is not seen as a weakness but as a standard and necessary aspect of the genre which is expected by audiences.
